Chapter 2 Actually, I’m worried
Wang Quan felt that he was not a rich second generation. He was alone and could not bear to stay in such a good hotel. It was too expensive to spend more than 3,000 yuan a night.
He almost emptied his pocket when making movies in the United States. It would be better to go home and live there. He would only be relieved if he could find his own movie to take over.
This time he took the subway, got off at Hufang Bridge, and took his suitcase to Lazhu Hutong.
Just after turning a corner, I met an acquaintance, "Oh, Uncle Yang."
"Yi Quan, are you back from the United States?"
Uncle Yang, the former old neighbor, was wearing a police uniform and riding an electric vehicle by the way, and his hairline moved back a lot, making people worry about the future of his daughter.
One stopped and the other stopped. The two started chatting. Uncle Yang's family had moved from Lazhu Hutong to the residential community assigned by the unit, but they lived not far away. The old neighbors in the Hutong for more than ten years still had their feelings and often walked around.
From him, Wang Quan learned that his son Wang Qiankun had returned to his hometown in Hebei Province two days ago, but he had the key, as long as it was not moving.
After chatting for a while, Uncle Yang didn't mention his daughter. It seemed that he was still on guard against him. He just got closer. He treated her as his biological sister. He didn't even call her in the hotel. It shows how innocent his relationship is.
He smiled and waved goodbye to Uncle Yang. Wang Quan took a few more steps and opened the gate of his own courtyard by the password. Unlike the group courtyard where Uncle Yang and his friends used to live, this is a unique courtyard.
His son Wang Qiankun has a courtyard house, which covers an area of more than 300 square meters within the second ring road of the capital, but Wang Quan did not think that this was a rich second generation.
In addition, Wang Qiankun has several shops for rent outside, and can charge 300,000 to 400,000 a month, but can this be considered a rich second generation?
In addition, Wang Qiankun also runs a cinema in Dashilan, but the film market is in a downturn and it seems that he cannot be considered a rich second generation.
So Wang Quan is just an ordinary sunny and cheerful big boy in the capital.
After entering the yard, he first went to a toilet. There was nothing good about this courtyard. It was not until he was in high school that the toilet was installed at home. He had to go to the public toilet outside to solve the problem.
After walking around, I found that inside and outside the house were similar to when I left a year ago, so I didn't do much. It seemed that there was no new hostess here at the moment.
Then he called Ms. Mei Yanqiu, the former hostess of Siheyuan, and said, "Hey, mom, I'm back home... I won't go to your place today. I'm going to make the jet lag, let's talk about it tomorrow."
After thinking about it, I politely notified my dad that I was busy playing mahjong and I didn’t have a few words to talk.
He was sentenced to his mother for the first time when his parents divorced, and he chose his father for the second time. When he was the third time, he was already numb and grew up, and he did not follow anyone. So his parents paid him to buy him a small second-bedroom apartment, so he was his own household head.
However, every Spring Festival, he would accompany his parents to celebrate the New Year. Last year he accompanied Lao Wang back to his hometown. This year it was his turn to accompany his mother to celebrate the New Year in Beijing.
From noon, I don’t know how long I slept, but I only remember that in my dream he stood on the Oscar podium and proudly announced in Chinese, “The era of my royal power has arrived. I will also announce that I am about to return to China and shoot my first Chinese movie…”
Then Tom Hanks, Leonardo DiCaprio and others cried and begged him not to leave. Charlize Theron even blocked his mouth with his lips and asked him to take back what he had just said and not say that kind of thing again in the future.
Hehe~
Sure enough, there are everything in your dreams, especially daydreaming.
In a daze, someone woke him up, and Wang Quan saw a capable and elegant middle-aged woman.
"Mom, why are you here?" Wang Quan wiped the corner of his mouth, but fortunately he didn't drool.
Mei Yanqiu pointed to the table and said, "I'm sending you dinner. Don't sleep anymore. If you sleep, you won't be able to sleep at night. Why do you have the jet lag?"
After calming on the bed for a minute, Wang Quan said, "Mom, please avoid it, I'll wear clothes."
Mei Yanqiu laughed "Puchi" and said, "My son has grown up, okay."
When she came in again, Wang Quan had put on his clothes and opened the insulated lunch box.
The aroma of dishes fills the room, which is full of his favorite home-cooked rice, including oatmeal shrimp glue foie gras balls, purse tenderloin, cherry meat, shark fin rice, and a bowl of abalone oxtail soup.
Three dishes, one soup and one staple food, and he will be able to finish it with his appetite.
It sounds like there is no mother's taste, it's true, it's all the smell of uncle.
The ancestors of the Mei family have had imperial chefs, and they have been chefs for generations. The mother and second uncle inherited the will of their grandfather and opened a high-end private restaurant in the capital. The second uncle is the chef and the mother is the manager. The brother and sister work together to make them bigger and stronger.
This classic and authentic Chinese delicacy is not easy to eat in Los Angeles. Faced with American Chinese food, Wang Quan would rather eat Western food.
Mei Yanqiu sat aside and watched her son eat, and she was happy to see that he was eating deliciously.
"Mom, are you doing something tonight? I'll invite you to a movie." Wang Quan suggested while drinking the soup, and he thought of the poster of "Huo Yuanjia" he saw on his way back.
Thinking of its final box office of 100 million in mainland China and 68 million US dollars worldwide, as well as its rating of 7 on Douban and nearly 8 on IMDb, it should be a very good action movie worth watching.
However, Mei Yanqiu looked at her watch and looked embarrassed. Wang Quan knew that he had asked this question more.
Mei Yanqiu had no choice, "The New Year is approaching, and there are a few particularly important guests tonight. I am afraid that the foreman will not resist."
“Understanding.”
Wang Quan silently packed his lunch box because he was single most of the time. Wang Quan was very independent since he was a child. Not to mention watching movies alone, it is common for him to go to the hospital for infusion alone.
"Son, I know you want to make movies in the future. If you take these, you may need them in the future." When she was about to leave, Mei Yanqiu took out a stack of cards and thought it was a bank card at home, but when she saw it...
"Is this... a business card?"
"These have eaten in our store, they are all from the film and television industry. Look, these are the bosses of film and television companies, these are directors and actors..."
Wang Quan was shocked. Several of them are now calling the wind and rain in the film and television industry, including the now-fascinating Huayi brothers Wang Zhonglei. Jiang Zhiqiang, who created "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon", and Qin Hong, the CEO of Xingmei Film. His mother introduced and added one by one, obviously doing her homework.
Looking at her mother's serious face, Wang Quan knew that although this mother always put her career first and lacked care for herself, she has been using her own way to implicitly express her love and concern for her son.
"Mom, thank you!" Wang Quan hugged his mother's neck in emotion, but soon found that his mother had pulled one of the business cards back.
After being discovered by his son, Mei Yanqiu said with confidence, "Chen Daoming is my idol, you probably can't use an actor of this level, I'd better keep this picture myself."
King Quan: “…”
After seeing off his mother, Wang Quan walked around the yard to digest food.
In fact, he can watch "Huo Yuanjia" without going to the cinema, because he has it in his mind.
Yes, he has a slap.
Last year, the plane flying to Los Angeles encountered strong convective weather and experienced severe bumps. Wang Quan sucked over with a "crack" and after waking up, there was a film and television library in his mind. Video content such as film and television drama variety show MVs in 2025 can be seen here.
Not only can you watch movies, but also the ratings, evaluations, box office, rankings of these works on major platforms at home and abroad, as well as some introductions and information about the film front and behind the scenes and related actors.
The previous film resources are nothing, and school libraries can basically find them. The key is that there are film and television contents for the next 20 years. They have not been born yet, and that is a huge wealth!
It is precisely because of this plug-in, coupled with his diligent study at the University of Southern California and his efforts to absorb professional knowledge that he directed the first feature film in his life in less than a year after studying abroad and won the exhibition at the Sundance Film Festival.
The Sundance Film Festival is over three days, and the movie was widely praised during the screening. At the same time, a movie called "The Little Sunshine Beauty" sold more than $10 million, which gave the partners more confidence.
After all, the cost is only $2 million, so it is not difficult to recover the cost. It depends on how much you can earn. They are still a little ambitious.
After walking for a few steps, Wang Quan put on his coat and decided to go to the cinema to watch the movie. Although the film and television library in his mind can also reach the cinema-level audio-visual enjoyment, one thing is that it does not have, that is, the audience around him.
The viewing atmosphere is also very important. Everyone is nervous and laughing together. The smell of popcorn in the air, the palms that stretched into his girlfriend's skirt in the corner, and the rapid breathing of the two are all important parts of the fun of watching the movie, especially for commercial films.
He left as soon as he said that, Wang Quan walked alone. Not long after he left, a girl with only one pair of eyes knocked on his door~
